Notes: On
this, their first album, Janis and her band brought a blues sensibility
to the rock stage for the peace and love generation to witness,
feel and wrap their collective hearts around. The pain and loss
exhibited by songs such as Down on Me and Women is Losers touched the
young people in the crowd with feelings so true and personal that
it was hard to believe they were coming out of this young lady
from Texas fronting the band. More of a band effort than some of
her later recordings it was plain to see that Janis would be spreading
her word to bigger and grander crowds. No one knew how short her
ride would actually be. The cover art had the sixties colors and
design along side the B & W line work of the traditional San
Francisco Victorian architecture. A classic album in all respects.
